Feliz Natal!
Merry Christmas to you and all your family!
I didn't have a chance to compose a nice message, so I'll leave you with a few photos and one of my favorite Christmas songs. Just cause I know you love Peanuts too (who doesn't?)
Rena, I didn't have a chance to try your cookie batter recipe this time. But I certainly will in the near future.

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

Christmas meme
I received this via email, and noticed Sunshine posted the same thing in her blog.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Unless it's an odd-shaped item, wrapping paper. It's more fun to wrap and to open!
2. Real tree or Artificial?
Artificial. We're had the same tree since 2001 and I don't plan to replace it. It's so cost-effective (I'll have to compose a post about having a frugal Xmas sometime)
3. When do you put up the tree?
usually during the thanksgiving holiday. This year we waited a week longer and the outside decor is not even up yet. It's been raining....
4. When do you take the tree down?
On or after January 6th (Three Kings Day). You're not supposed to take it down before that.
5. Do you like eggnog?
You mean UGHnog? No.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Barbie stuff hehehe
7. Hardest person to buy for?
My husband, and it ends up being the same gift every year: a shirt and a pair of pants.
8. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes. Not only it's beautiful, it was on clearance for $7 or so...
9. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Mail
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
I don't recall getting anything bad for Xmas
11. Favorite Christmas Movie?
It's a Wonderful Life!
12. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
Not that I remember.
13. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Turkey
14. Lights on the tree?
Love seeing them. This year our old lights died and I bought colorful ones (a hit with the kids)
15. Favorite Christmas song?
Oh Holy Night
16. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
Stay home, although in 2000 we spent it at DisneyWorld and it was just too awesome for words.
17. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
No, I cannot, in fact I didn't know the reindeer had names (other than Rudolph) until I moved to the US.
18. Angel on the tree top or a star?
Star
19. Open the presents Christmas Eve or Christmas day?
One on Christmas Eve, the rest on Christmas Day.
20. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
97.1 Wash-FM playing Xmas songs all day long, and starting a week before Thanksgiving. Ugh! It's my favorite station, but I olny tune back in on Dec 26th (not mentioning they do it one day in July as well, they call it "Xmas in July"). Double Ugh!
21. Favorite ornament theme or color?
I like the Hallmark stuff, that I buy 50-75% off after Christmas (once again, frugal Xmas)
22. What do you want for Christmas this year?
I am going to be a material girl and say I want the end of the financial crisis, I want me to win the lottery so I can quit my job, built a hurricane-proof house in Florida where I can sit on my behind all day and do nothing.
And, just to illustrate, a picture I took of the Capitol a couple opf years ago while the white poop was falling. You can see the tree in front of it.

Friday Foto Finish Fiesta
As in http://carriestuckmann.blogspot.com.
"This is Halloween" from "The Nightmare before Christmas" Soundtrack
More Pumpkins
These are the pumpkins we carved last weekend. My friend carved the Yoda and I helped her towards the end. I carved all the other 3. The kids helped, as much as we allowed them to (it's not too safe to play around with saws!). If I have a chance and find decent pumpkins, I will carve a couple more. I think we may even have a contest next week @ work.
Enjoy!
Yoda
Spongebob
Pirate Ship
Mickey Mouse
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

It's fall, which means it's constantly getting cold and we'll be covered in white poop soon. That sucks.
But it means it's time for one of my favorite holidays: Halloween. It's probably due to the fact I did not have that growing up, but Halloween is just too much fun and I love to decorate.
This year I've invited a couple of friends with their little ones and we're going to carve a bunch of pumpkins at my house. I'm already collecting really fun patterns.
So, for our Friday Fiesta today, I have pictures of the pumpkins I carved last year.
Tinkerbell, for a princess friend
Pirates of the Caribbean, for my little Captain Jack Sparrow
And our friendly Winnie the Pooh
